Citrate process로 제조한 $La_{1-x}Ca_xCoO_3$에서 Ca이 20mole% doping된 perovskite oxide가 산소환원반응에 대해 가장 높은 전류밀도와 specific activity를 보여주었으며 cyclic voltammogram에서 carbon만으로 제조된 전극에서보다 carbon과 Perovskite oxide를 혼합한 전극에서 높은 산소흡착/탈착전류를 보였다. 입자크기분포와 소결효과에 의해 $900^{\circ}C$, 5시간 공기중에서 소결한 $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$가 산소환원반응에 대한 전기화학적 촉매특성이 우수하였다.

The titled properties on reduction of the perovskite $LaBO_3$ (B = Fe, Co, Ni) have been investigated by means of temperature-programmed reduction, isothermal reduction and X-ray diffraction methods. Nominal composition of $LaFeO_{3.18},\;LaCoO_{3.00}\;and\;LaNiO_{2.92}$ are determined. Reduction reaction of these mixed oxides differed according to B-site transition metal and thermal stability on reduction decreased as following order: $LaFeO_{3.18}$ > $LaCoO_{3.00}$ > $LaNiO_{2.92}$. From the results of isothermal reaction, kinetics on reduction of the perovskite has been discussed in detail.

The micro emulsion method has been successfully used for preparing perovskite LaCoO₃ with uniform, fine-shaped nanoparticles showing high activity as electro catalysts in oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). They are, therefore, promising candidates for the air-cathode in metal-air rechargeable batteries. Since the activity of a catalyst is highly dependent on its specific surface area, nanoparticles of the perovskite catalyst are desirable for catalyzing both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. Herein, LaCoO₃ powder was also prepared by sol-gel method for comparison, with a broad particle distribution and high agglomeration. The electro catalytic properties of LaCoO₃ and LaCoO₃-carbon Super P mixture layers toward the ORR were studied comparatively using the rotating disk electrode technique in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte to elucidate the effect of carbon Super P. Koutecky-Levich theory was applied to acquire the overall electron transfer number (n) during the ORR, calculated to be ~3.74 for the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, quite close to the theoretical value (4.0), and ~2.7 for carbon-free LaCoO₃. A synergistic effect toward the ORR is observed when carbon is present in the LaCoO₃ layer. Carbon is assumed to be more than an additive, enhancing the electronic conductivity of the oxide catalyst. It is suggested that ORRs, catalyzed by the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, are dominated by a 2+2-electron transfer pathway to form the final, hydroxyl ion product.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.

The electrical properties of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3-La_2O_3$ based varistors were investigated with sintering temperature in the range of $1240\sim1300^{\circ}C$. The varistors sintered at $1240\sim1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited high density, which was 5.50- $5.70g/cm^3$ corresponding to 95.2~98.6% of theoretical density. The varistor voltage was decreased in range of 718.47~108.00 V/mm with increasing sintering temperarture. The varistors sintered at $1240\sim1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited good electrical properties, in which the nonlinear exponent is in the range of 79.25~49.22 and leakage current is in the range of 0.26~$1.00 {\mu}A$ In particular, the varistor sintered at $1240^{\circ}C$ showed very excellent electrical properties, in which the nonlinear exponent is 79.25 and leakage current is $0.26{\mu}A$

Impedancemetric $NO_x$ (NO and $NO_2$) gas sensors were designed with a stacked-layer structure and fabricated using $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1) as the receptor material and $Li_{1.3}Al_{0.3}Ti_{1.7}(PO_4)_3$ plates as the solid-electrolyte transducer material. The $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$ layers were prepared with a polymeric precursor method that used ethylene glycol as the solvent, acetyl acetone as the chelating agent, and polyvinylpyrrolidone as the polymer additive. The effects of the Co concentration on the structural, morphological, and $NO_x$ sensing properties of the $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$ powders were investigated with powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and its response to 20~250 ppm of $NO_x$ at $400^{\circ}C$ (for 1 kHz and 0.5 V), respectively. When the as-prepared precursors were calcined at $700^{\circ}C$, only a single phase was detected, which corresponded to a perovskite-type structure. The XRD results showed that as the Co concentration of the $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$powders increased, the crystal structure was transformed from an orthorhombic phase to a rhombohedral phase. Moreover, the $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$ powders with $0{\leq}x<0.8$ had a rhombohedral symmetry. The size of the particles in the $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3$powders increased from 0.1 to $0.5{\mu}m$ as the Co concentration increased. The sensing performance of the stack-structured $LaCr_xCo_{1-x}O_3/Li_{1.3}Al_{0.3}Ti_{1.7}(PO_4)_3$ sensors was found to divide the impedance component between the resistance and capacitance. The response of these sensors to NO gas was more sensitive than that to $NO_2$ gas. Compared to other impedancemetric sensors, the $LaCr_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_3/Li_{1.3}Al_{0.3}Ti_{1.7}(PO_4)_3$ sensor exhibited good reversibility and reliable sensingresponse properties for $NO_x$ gases.

$>LaMnO_3$$(La, Sr)MO_3$, and $(La, Sr)MO_3/YSZ$ gel films were deposited by spin-coating technique on scandium-doped zirconia (YSZ) substrate using the precursor solution prepared from $La(O-i-C_3H_7)_3$, $Co(CH_3COO)_2$or $Mn(O-i-C_3H_7)_2$,2-methoxyethanol, and polyethylene glycol. By heat-treating the gel films, the electrochemical cells, $(La, Sr)MnO_3{\mid}ScSZ{\mid}Pt$ were fabricated. The effect of polyethylene glycol on the microstructure evolution of $$LaCoO_3and $LaMnO_3$thin films was investigated, and NOx decomposition characteristics of the electrochemical cells were investigated at $500^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$. By applying a direct current to the $(La, Sr)MnO_3{\mid}ScSZ{\mid}Pt$ electrochemical cell, good NOx conversion rate could be obtained relatively at low current value even if excess oxygen is included in the reaction gas mixture.

본 연구에서는 상온 조건에서 추가적인 에너지원 없이 H2 산화가 가능한 Pd/TiO2 촉매를 제조하였고, 지지체인 TiO2의 비표면적은 Pd/TiO2 촉매의 H2 산화 반응 성능과 비례하지는 않은 것을 확인하였다. 또한 촉매의 물성 변화에 의한 성능 영향 평가를 위하여 La2O3를 Pd/TiO2 촉매에 첨가하였다. La2O3를 TiO2에 함량별로 첨가하여 Pd/La2O3-TiO2를 제조하였고, CO chemisorption 분석을 진행하였다. Pd/TiO2(G) 촉매의 전환율(14% at 0.5% H2)과 비교하여 Pd/La2O3-TiO2 촉매가 74% 전환율로 5배 이상의 성능 증진이 나타났다. Pd/La2O3-TiO2 촉매는 활성금속인 Pd의 metal dispersion이 클수록 H2 산화반응에 유리한 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 첨가되는 La2O3가 10%를 초과하게 되면 촉매 성능이 다시 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 Pd/La2O3-TiO2 촉매의 물성이 지배적인 영향을 미치는 것은 주입되는 H2가 0.3~0.5% 농도 조건까지이며, 1% 이상의 H2 농도부터는 물질전달이 촉매 반응속도를 지배하는 것으로 판단된다.

NiO and Co3O4-doped porous La(CoNi)O3 perovskite oxides were prepared from excess Ni addition by a hydrothermal method using porous silica template, and characterized as bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for Zn-air rechargeable batteries in alkaline solution. Excess Ni induced to form NiO and Co3O4 in La(CoNi)O3 particles. The NiO and Co3O4-doped porous La(CoNi)O3 showed high specific surface area, up to nine times of conventionally synthesized perovskite oxide, and abundant pore volume with similar structure. Extra added Ni was partially substituted for Co as B site of ABO3 perovskite structure and formed to NiO and Co3O4 which was highly dispersed in particles. Excess Ni in La(CoNi)O3 catalysts increased OER performance (259 mA/㎠ at 2.4 V) in alkaline solution, although the activities (211 mA/㎠ at 0.5 V) for ORR were not changed with the content of excess Ni. La(CoNi)O3 with excess Ni showed very stable cyclability and low capacity fading rate (0.38 & 0.07 ㎶/hour for ORR & OER) until 300 hours (~70 cycles) but more excess content of Ni in La(CoNi)O3 gave negative effect to cyclability.
